From Quito, it was a quick flight to the small town, where we boarded ia motorized skiff/ riverboat, it was a lot of fun to check out the sights while we flew down the river. Got some great pics. When we get to the "entrance" of Sacha Lodge, there were restrooms, then we had about a 20 min walk through the jungle to get to the lake which was the true entry point into the lodge. Everything that comes into the lodge comes on canoes. It was amazing.
Don't worry about hiking shoes for Sacha Lodge, they provide everyone with big rubber walking boots called "wellies" it is called the rainforest, so there was a lot of mud. I did have removable arch supports from my hiking boots and they helped a lot, you do a lot of hiking. But, that's what you expect to do for an adventure tour.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
